Kon Trubkovich (b. 1979) is a Russian multi-media artist. He works with the idea of ‘truthful’ documentation, referencing and reconstructing political and social events from their portrayal in the media. Focusing mainly on temporalities, his work draws on many sources, including his family’s emigration from the USSR to the United States.
Represented by Gagosian, he has had work shown internationally at venues such as MoMA, New York, the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, Moscow, and the Kunstmuseum Bern, Switzerland. Included in USA: American Video Art at the Beginning of the 3rd Millennium, he was shown at the second Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art in 2007.
Alongside Gagosian, he donated 'Smur' (2021) to the Art of Wishes 2021 auction.
